Wow - if when I last wrote on here you'd have told me how much I'd have changed I wouldn't have thought it possible.

6 months have passed and I feel like a completely different person. It was almost as if on my wedding day all the past didn't matter and I transformed into this new person - not just in name and marital status but in mind too.

During the wedding breakfast, with my gorgeous husband sat by my side I looked around at the other 80 people in that room with us. Each and every single one of them I loved. We loved. They were there to join in with our happiness. In Church they agreed to support us and as I looked round I knew that each and every single one of them would and I would do the same for them.

The months leading up to the wedding were pretty stressful. There were many tears, many nights spent crying, many stressed phone calls to various members of my family and friends.....I never thought anything was going to go right. During that time I lost a good friend. I shed many a tear over the situation and it still fills me with sadness when I think about it now, but I am a big believer in everything happening for a reason and as many people told me it's times and things like this that show you your true friends. And it did. I lost a good friend, but I also gained and rebuilt friendships because of it too - and everyone who loved me and wanted to support me was there that day.

People tell you your wedding day is the best day of your life. And it is true. Although the day sped past and we were heading to bed before I knew it, it really was the best day ever. I don't think I have ever smiled so much!!

As I said above I do feel a completely different person. My life really has never been so good. I have amazing friends, a very busy social life (for the first time in a long time!!), I love my home, have no worries, and have the most amazing relationship with my husband. Because of this everything in life seems really good - like there really is nothing I can't get through as long as I have my husband, my family and my friends with me.

So perhaps the title of this blog isn't right anymore??? Have I learnt to live with The Hassle? Or is The Hassle done with forever..........??
